- Bile duct obstruction is a blockage in the tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. In serious cases, the common bile duct can be surgically moved so that it empties further down the small intestine.

Small & Large Intestine The liver, gallbladder, and pancreas are accessory organs of the digestive system that are closely associated with the small intestine. The small intestine is divided into the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.The small intestine follows the general structure of the digestive tract in that the wall has a mucosa with simple columnar epithelium, submucosa, smooth muscle with inner circular and outer longitudinal layers, and serosa.he liver, gallbladder, and pancreas are accessory organs of the digestive system that are closely associated with the small intestine. The small intestine is divided into the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum.

Your small intestine and digestion Your small intestine and digestion. The small intestine is a long tube that is approximately 18 feet long (6 meters). The small intestine is called small because the diameter or the width of the tube is much less than the large intestine.The parts of the small intestine include the duodenum, jejunum and the ileum.The duodenum is a segment of intestine between the stomach and the jejunum that is very active in digestion where many different enzymes mix from the stomach, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.he small intestine is the location in the body where the majority of the nutrients from ingested food are absorbed. Whereas the stomach is responsible for the churning and mechanical breakdown of food, the small intestine is very important for absorption.

Small Bowel Bleeding In the small bowel, 30 to 40% of bleeding is caused by abnormal blood vessels in the wall of the small bowel. These abnormal blood vessels have many names, including angioectasias, angiodysplasias, or arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).he small bowel (or small intestine) is the longest portion of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It is called small because it is thin or narrow compared with the large bowel (also known as the colon), but it is much longer than the large bowel (14 feet on average).

Common hepatic artery Common hepatic artery. The common hepatic artery is one of the final branches of the celiac artery. It supplies oxygen-rich blood to the liver, pylorus, pancreas, and duodenum. It runs on the right inside the lesser sac, a cavity near the middle of the abdomen, and enters the lesser omentum, a folded membrane that attaches the stomach to the liver.

Overview The most common causes of intestinal obstruction in adults are: Intestinal adhesions — bands of fibrous tissue in the abdominal cavity that can form after abdominal or pelvic surgery; Colon cancer; In children, the most common cause of intestinal obstruction is telescoping of the intestine (intussusception). Other possible causes of intestinal obstruction include: Hernias — portions of intestine that protrude into another part of your body; Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease

Bowel obstruction Other common types of mechanical obstruction of the small bowel include a hernia (where part of the bowel pushes through a weak area in the abdominal wall) or volvulus (where the bowel becomes twisted).

Bile Duct Diseases Gallstones are the most common cause of blocked bile ducts. Stones typically form inside the gallbladder and can block the common bile duct, the drainpipe at the base of the liver. If the duct remains blocked, bilirubin backs up and enters the blood stream.

- Any of the following can cause blockage: 1  Gallstones. 2  Swelling of the gallbladder. 3  Narrow bile duct. 4  Injury. Pancreatitis (inflammation of pancreas)  Duodenitis (inflammation of small 1  intestine) Spasms in the esophagus.

Practice Essentials A small-bowel obstruction (SBO) is caused by a variety of pathologic processes. The leading cause of SBO in industrialized countries is postoperative adhesions (60%), followed by malignancy, Crohn disease, and hernias.See the image below. strangulated obstruction is a surgical emergency. In patients with a complete small-bowel obstruction (SBO), the risk of strangulation is high and early surgical intervention is warranted. Laparoscopy has been shown to be safe and effective in selected cases of SBO. See Treatment and Medication for more detail.

- This is known as gallstone ileus. Usually, the stones pass from the gallbladder into the bile ducts. They may remain there without blocking the flow of bile or causing symptoms, or they may pass on into the small intestine without being noticed.

Intestinal Obstruction The most common causes of obstruction are adhesions, hernias, and tumors; a small-bowel obstruction in the absence of prior surgery or hernias is often caused by a tumor. Vomiting and third spacing of fluid cause volume depletion.

- A bowel obstruction happens when either your small or large intestine is partly or completely blocked. The blockage prevents food, fluids, and gas from moving through the intestines in the normal way. The blockage may cause severe pain that comes and goes. This topic covers a blockage caused by tumors, scar tissue, or twisting or narrowing of the intestines. It does not cover ileus, which most commonly happens after surgery on the belly (abdominal surgery). Tumors, scar tissue (adhesions), or twisting or narrowing of the intestines can cause a bowel obstruction.

- Biliary Ductal Dilatation. Biliary Ductal Dilatation: The ducts of the bile from the gallbladder and liver join together to from a common bile duct. This drains into the small bowel and bile is delivered to this point of the small bowel known as the duodenum. Bile aids in the breakdown of food that is undigested.

Cancer of the Small Intestine The small intestine, or small bowel, lies between the stomach and the colon. The small intestine is about 6 m (20 ft) long. Its primary function is to digest and absorb nutrients. The small intestine makes up more than 70% of the length and 90% of the surface area ofthe gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The most common cancerous (malignant) tumors of the small bowel include adenocarcinoma, lymphoma, sarcoma, and carcinoids. In industrialized countries, adenocarcinomas occur most often.

- Gall stones or biliary stones can pass from the gallbladder or liver, respectively, into the common bile duct and proceed into the small intestine depending on their size. As they pass through the biliary tree, these stones may cause obstructions if they are lodged in the bile duct.

Summit Medical Group Web Site What is a small bowel obstruction? A small bowel obstruction is a blockage anywhere inside your small intestine. The small intestine starts at the end of the stomach and ends where the small and large intestine (also called the colon) connect. A blockage may stop all food, gas, or fluids from passing through or just make it harder to pass through and into the large intestine.

Bowel Obstruction In a bowel obstruction (intestinal obstruction), a blockage prevents the contents of the intestines from passing normally through the digestive tract. The problem causing the blockage can be inside or outside the intestine. Inside the intestine, a tumor or swelling can fill and block the inside passageway of the intestine. Outside the intestine, it is possible for an adjacent organ or area of tissue to pinch, compress or twist a segment of bowel. A bowel obstruction can occur in the small bowel (small intestine) or large bowel (large intestine or colon). Also, a bowel obstruction can be total or partial, depending on whether any intestinal contents can pass through the obstructed area.

Overview Small intestine. In some people with Crohn's disease, only the last segment of the small intestine (ileum) is affected. In others, the disease is confined to the colon (part of the large intestine). The most common areas affected by Crohn's disease are the last part of the small intestine and the colon. Signs and symptoms of Crohn's disease can range from mild to severe.

Blocked Bowel â Symptoms, Causes of Small Intestinal Obstruction Obstruction within the small intestine (small bowel obstruction or SBO) is more common than a blockage elsewhere in the gastrointestinal tract. Given its length and structure, it is more prone to a number of causes that can result in a partial or complete obstruction.
